Exporting Amazon Produce to the World: 50 Products from 25 Species
Fernanda Stefani: Today, we help bring Amazon produce to the world. Eleven years ago, Fernanda Stefani set out to scale the Amazon bioeconomy. Today 100% Amazonia serves as a bridge, selling millions of dollars of sustainable forest produce to international markets. Three years ago, the company started its “Factory of the Forest” project, gaining the ability to process certain foods and grow. Now selling 50 products from 25 different species to dozens of countries, the priorities are about tracing, certification, food safety, and more. What fruits, nuts, oils, and butters are available? Who are the buyers? Join us to learn about taking camu-camu, graviola, acerola, cupuaçu, murumuru, buriti, açai, and many other Amazon favorites to the world.
